There may be a few communities where basketball gets the support, but one thing we learned from this football season; football drives the budgets of many more schools, AND the budget of the IHSAA. The IHSAA could afford to cut off the basketball tournament last season, BUT the football season had to happen, or there would have been a high number of schools in trouble financially. Even though crowds were limited at football games, they still drive the budget. So, while the sentimental game may be basketball, the one that pays the bills is football.

Why would BHSS want to schedule a clod?

He’s not as old as me, but I’m much better looking.

The regular season was still 10 games in 84. There were just 4 playoff games then as well. Our sectional game was against Washington, Regional was against North Central, Semi State was against Martinsville, and we played Hobart for the State Championship.

Not for 2021, but we are excited to announce that we have just signed a two year contract with Carmel starting in 2022. Carmel @ Elkhart 8/26/2022 Elkhart @ Carmel 8/25/2023 Our program is excited about the future opportunity to compete against one of the top programs in the midwest!

How does Moses make his coffee? Hebrews it.

The Big Game Sunday has many interesting story lines. But I’m always interested in what people are chowing down on, to match the excess that is [usually] the Super Bowl. I’ll be brining, then smoking, about 10# of wings, finishing under the broiler to crisp them up. Two homemade sauces: sweet Thai chili and a raspberry habanero that will get - and keep - your attention. Augmented by a nice, chunky blue cheese dipping sauce.

Football is important in the places where people make it to be. I was born and raised in Ohio. Despite the quality of football in some places, the importance of football always felt paramount. It's almost unfathomable football wouldn't happen. Having spent my latter high school years, and my entire coaching career here in Indiana I can tell you that my opening statement is very much the same. Football is important in the places where people have made an effort to make it so. As a whole I feel it will be hard to uproot basketball's title as king in Indiana...but football in Indiana is on the rise. The quality of our game is increasing. It's a very exciting thing!

Man you are old. 😉

Sorry! It actually solves a mystery for me because it didn't seem reasonable that BD would drop Warren for one year and pick them up again. I mean, they've played EVERY year since 1937.

Correct...I may have forgotten a LOT of things over the years, but my senior season ain't one of em. :)

OK, that makes sense. And the all in didn't come until 1985.

Beech Grove is getting some major updates to their facility. That made that job more attractive, I'm sure. Not meaning disrespect here, but there's not much of a path forward at Southport in 6A, IMO.

I don't know if football has taken over the top spot from basketball, but Indiana has become MORE of a football state...especially since the Colts have been good.

I contend that was more a matter of the timing of the initial pandemic outbreak, and the fear and uncertainty concerning the transmission of the virus that drove the decisions being made at the time.

I have a frozen Malnati's pizza in the freezer, since there is no restaurant nearby. I will throw that in the oven. I'd be in heaven if I had some of their bruschetta for a warm up.

Depends on what part of the state you are in. Basketball is second fiddle for winter sports in Adams County. That's just how it is.

I think pre-Covid Indiana HS football game attendance vs basketball game attendance numbers might tell an interesting story.

Hard to steal hand signals off a TV broadcast LOL

My wife left me because of my obsession with horoscopes It Taurus apart

That's the general thinking for the left, depending on the crime of course......especially if committed on the wrong "group" ......

Carmel was so good they caused most of the schools in the Conference to go out of business. A clod that hard to kill should be called a rock.

We've established that Noblesville, indeed has a football team, and that their offensive philosophy is being highly scrutinized. Let's get back on topic and talk about teams that are trending upward!

Twin Lakes will play at New Prairie in 2021!

Steele has committed to Ball State.

Zionsville is growing rapidly. I think they are solidly in 6A for the forseable future.

Much like the perpetrators of the Boston Tea Party betrayed the British monarchy?

I was kidnapped by mimes once They did unspeakable things to me.

It's inappropriate to make a 'dad joke' if you're not a dad. It's a faux pa.

In Ancient Rome, there were 4 types of poison. Poisons I, II, and III would all kill you with varying degrees of pain. However, Poison IV would just make you really itchy.
